Luxman 505uXii Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) Bought new from Japan in November '23. It's in immaculate condition with no marks whatsoever. Performs flawlessly and sounds amazing (of course 😁). It's the Japanese 100v version. Happy to ship or can demo if picked up. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash or bank transfer Region/State: (SA) South Australia/Australia By jonnyadelaide 0 Comments AUD $3,350 Date: June 14, 2025Jun 14
This is a strong deal: at A$3,350, it lands below the A$3,450 25th percentile and well under the A$3,945 median for recent AUD comparables, so the ask looks genuinely attractive rather than merely fair. It is not ambitious at all; on the numbers alone, this is priced like a buyer’s-market opportunity.
That matters because this amp is well regarded for its refined, muscular all-round sound, good phono stage, and genuinely high-end build, with enough current to drive a wide range of speakers confidently. At this price, a clean, well-kept example is the sort of listing that rewards quick action; the “excellent” condition tag is exactly what you want to see, and there’s no obvious reason to nitpick if it’s functioning properly and complete.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Luxman traces its origins to 1925 in Osaka, Japan, when brothers T. Hayakawa and K. Yoshikawa launched a radio equipment division within their Kinsuido picture frame import business, coinciding with Japan's inaugural radio broadcast. Initially importing components, the company soon pivoted to in-house manufacturing of transformers and switches, birthing the Luxman brand and establishing it as one of Japan's oldest electronic component makers. This heritage of precision engineering has endured through ownership shifts, including stints with Alpine and Samsung, before returning to Japanese hands in the early 2000s under dedicated Luxman Corporation.
The brand specializes in luxury high-end audio components, with a storied emphasis on amplifiers—both integrated and power models—preamplifiers, and receivers renowned for their warm, detailed sound. Luxman also produces turntables, CD players, tape decks, and speakers, alongside modern digital offerings like DACs, all handcrafted in Japan with custom parts and dual-mono designs for ultimate fidelity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Luxman commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its timeless aesthetics, uncompromising build quality, and sonic refinement that bridges vintage warmth with cutting-edge performance. Classics like the 1970s CL-32 preamp and 1980s L-507 integrated amplifier fuel its collector appeal, while contemporary lines reaffirm its status as a boutique benchmark for those seeking "Ultimate Fidelity since 1925."
